During our stay in Stari Grad, my family and I reached out to Jana to see if we could stop by. Sure enough, not long after, we found ourselves at her charming little animal farm in the Dol area. We were warmly welcomed by Jana, the volunteers, and of course, the animals on the farm. This is a woman who truly radiates love for what she does - for the animals, the land, and everything in between. Jana is the heart and soul of her organization. If you ever find yourself on the island of Hvar, make sure to pay her a visit. It’s an experience you won’t forget!

This really is a very special place where the owner has dedicated so much time and energy to all the animals; my two daughters haven't stopped talking about it. Really easy to book, and great communication from Jana!
